You could use your own traffic data to create approriately colored, or otherwise indicated, L.polyline. I've done that with the elevation api and color coded segments according to grade. That was a long long time ago in a sdk now sunset but it's possible. It may create lots of objects and data on the map so you may want to limit the zoom levels all those polylines are displayed at or limit the number of separate sections indicated.
